By the editors · 2 min readLily of the valley opens softly — green, slightly watery, and delicate. The single top note establishes an understated, clean floral character that is neither bold nor aggressive.
Sandalwood, vanilla, and tobacco form the base — an unusual combination beneath a delicate floral. The tobacco adds a dry, slightly sweet-earthy quality that shifts the composition toward something more complex and nuanced than the opening suggests. Musk softens the whole.
The dry-down is an earthy-sweet accord with tobacco and sandalwood depth beneath lingering floral traces. The lily of the valley and tobacco juxtaposition is the most distinctive aspect — fresh floral over dry leaf warmth.
